I like the idea that usenet is not actually

As for nations throughout the world, some
of them have built nuclear weapons to murder
billions of people. And some people like
the concept of murdering billions of people.
They watch cop shows because they like to
be entertained by people shooting other people.
That is just the way they are. Is the sum
total of all governments and laws the total
extermination of all life on Earth?
Court systems, if they were interested in
not murdering people, could use 'full faith
and credit' to correspond with the court
systems of the world, to outlaw nuclear
weapons around the world. This is based
upon the idea that murder is wrong. The
'executive branch' will never do this.
This is because the 'executive branch'
is just out of control cops that like
to murder people.
Is the sum total of democracy the death
of billions of people with nuclear weapons?
Well there are carnivores in nature that
have nervous systems programmed to kill
and eat other organisms. They are not
interested in the lives of others. Only
in destroying the lives of others for
food. Food is the objective. Nonetheless
there are of course the laws of thermodynamics.
Good is low entropy. Evil is high entropy.
If you define a god as Summum Bonum (or
absolute goodness) and a demon as Summum
Malum (or absolute evil) then both could
be equated with low and high entropy. This
would also involve pantheism or at least
some ability for the theoretical deities
to interact with the universe that we
actually observe in some manner. Machines
called television sets and radios regularly
clamor for more and more destruction because
it appeals to the base instincts of many
people. Well maybe I am ignorant of this
'spam'. I guess it is uninteresting and
not worth reading?
